Texas is the place that reminds
everyone of cowboys and Wild West.
This is because the state was for a
long time the center of cattle
industry. Located in South Central
US, the state has some Spanish and
Mexican background. The second
largest state in US, the landscape
of Texas is dominated by desert and
prairies. Discovery of oil deposits
have given the state an economic
boom since the 1900s.
When it comes to the arts, it has a
lot to boast of. Museums here
showcase a variety of art forms like
sculptures and paintings. Houston
Museum of Fine Arts is one of the
largest in US. They have a
collection of more than 40,000
pieces from all continents which
cover a historical period of about
6,000 years.
Amarillo Art Museum, owns 15
larger-than-life sculptures.
In
Houston, there are several
venues for performing arts. The
Houston Opera House, Houston
Symphony Orchestra and Houston
Ballet are among them. Meanwhile,
Forthworth and Dallas are not far
behind, there's Kimbell Art Museum,
The Modern, Dallas Museum of Art and
Nasher Sculpture Center.
Another museum is the
American Quarter
Horse Museum.
Maybe Texans are really creative
people, because its not only in the
arts that they show much interest of
but also in music. In Dallas, there
is Ellum District, where jazz and
blues was the fad between 1920-30s.
Austin, dubbed as the Music Capital
of the World, where there's a hub of
clubs along 6th Street and where
music and film festivals are held
often.
If you are in Huntsville, you'd come
across the statue of
Sam Houston, a man who is
respected as a Texan hero.
City Bank Coliseum, a
multi-purpose arena at Lubbock is
the base of Texas Red Raiders.
United Spirit Arena, also in
Lubbock, is home to Texas basketball
and volleyball athletes. Another
venue for sports events is the
Jones AT&T, an open air football
stadium.
San Antonio Riverwalk, is a
place tourists must not miss out.
Located at East Houston St., it is
surrounded by the best hotels and
restaurants as well as top
entertainment venues.
Well, there's actually a lot to
enjoy in Texas, whether you're into
the arts, a music lover or a sports
enthusiast.
